Looks good Al! I like those cars.

Looks good Al

not doing the rolldowns must really cut into the $$$ in BC Eh?

Got to keep it legal.

Laying the back glass is about a pain isn't it? Maybe not too bad if you pull the back deck though.

HOLY CRAP i tinted one yesterday and that back window will be almost impossible to squeege at the bottom unless you have a bulldozer......it gave me hell WITH a bulldozer.

got any tips on how to take the rear deck out AL_TINT

nice job

Taking it out is easy, putting it back can be a PITA. BUT it is way better than the other years where you pulled the seats and walls.

Lay down seats.

Remove two screws.

Take a prybar and insert it up under the plastic deck by the screws and push UP to the roof. There are pins/clips MOULDED into the deck and you can see them as dents on the face. I think there are five. Push UP on each.

Now take the prybar and slide it under the deck and POP 4 white push pins that are located near the curve down the seat.

PULL deck to the front of the car.

4 white push pins will be left in the metal. Pop them out and insert back into deck.

Cover speakers and sub with scrap tint.

Tint.

Remove scraps.

Now the PITA.

You have to get the deck in real tight to the glass to get the back push pins in. The centre two are okay, but the two on the ends are a MAJOR PITA to get.

Pop in the front ones. Now work the moulded pins/clips back into there spot.

Replace screws.

Sounds easy enough.
I can't stand having to pull back decks, but sometimes you just gotta do it.

Do any of you guys/ gals charge extra for that or just chalk it up under the it had to be done to do it correctly category?

thanks for the tizzznip BIG AL

What type of film did you use? I am looking at getting my Nighthawk Black Pearl done in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance!

You just need a ric on a stick Ill geta pic of one and show it to ya

By the way You can sand the matrix on this car no vinyl or glue needed!

Pic would be nice.

What type and grit of sandpaper?

this tool and a side swiper will be fine to get that bottom done.

800 grit wet or dry sand paper al

Thanks.

Any problem with the antenna in the matrix after sanding?

No complaints yet! I have done 3 or 4 of em so far

I've done two. Don't see the difficulty, but replacing the back glass would be a !@# to remove film.

Hi Al, where do you work? I am looking to get my new Civic Si tinted. Can you reply here or drop me an email at krezton@hotmail.com

Thank you

hi i have a silver 06' civic 2 dr couple Ex i am buying a pre cut window tint set

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT


the front driver n passanger will be a breeze now i'v noticed that it has dot matrix things .... do i have to do someting about it or it wont be a problem tinting the windows that have this dot matrix things?

hmm i find it very very easy that i can fit and sqeege all the way to the bottom and i thought that you can remove the top but how much clerance does it help? or just the headlight that it pays off to remove it ?

i love to learn alot about tinting cars i'v tinted front driver passanger side of my ford expedition 00' but i'll have to re tint due that it picked up derbie in the air and has little dots on it .....

I WOULD apriciate it if you can reply or contact me , because i see that this thread might be a bit outdated..

but thanks in advance anyways

*BUMP*

I finally got another yesterday. The rear deck popped out very easily thanks for the tip AL taht made it ALOT easier.
